The Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (CONTRALESA) has urged government to reconsider the reopening of initiation schools under the adjusted level 2 of the national lockdown. This follows the easing of regulations announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday. In December last year, Contralesa halted the issuing of permits to initiation schools as a second wave of the COVID-19 infections hit the country prompting government to introduce stricter regulation in order to curb the surge in infections. Contralesa president Chief Kgosi Mokoena says it is not fair that some sectors of life have been reopened but the custom of initiation schools remains prohibited.
